Trea Turner and the Phillies are optimistic about his return to the lineup within the next week, as he nears the end of his recovery from a left hamstring strain.

Turner has not played since May 3 and is currently running at 75-80% of full speed.

Turner was batting .343 with 10 doubles, two homers, and nine RBIs before the injury.

Turner is unlikely to go on a rehab assignment before being activated, expressing his preference based on past experiences.

Turner is expected to complete the remaining 20-25% of his sprinting this week in Boston.

Edmundo Sosa has filled in well in Turner’s absence and will return to a utility role when Turner is back.

The return of Turner’s powerful bat and speedy base running will be a welcome addition to the Phillies lineup.
